Men and Depression: Rene Ruballo, Police Officer

“I lost interest with the kids and doing the things that we used to do… you know, that families do.” (:30 TV PSA)
Men are less likely than women to recognize and seek treatment for depression. Because men may appear to be angry or aggressive instead of sad, their families and friends, and even their doctors, may not recognize depression symptoms. The men in this “Real Men. Real Depression.” video series provide valuable insight as they talk about their experiences with depression.
